Water typically diffuses in and out of cells depending on the concentration of solutes (other gunk not water) in both the cell and the external environment. Osmosis (the diffusion of water), happens from where the solute concentration is lowest to where the solute concentration is highest (or more sensibly, water travels to dilute the solute; so imagine if a cell with a lot of gunk in it swims into pure water, water will start to move into the cell).
The correct answer is cancer. Cancer is the consequence that scientists are concerned that is could possibly result from the use of genetically engineered growth hormones in dairy products. Cancer involves abnormal cell growth that is potentially be spreading in the body.
Answer:
Mendel's law of independent assortment
Explanation:
Gregor Mendel is a really important figure in genetics, his work on pea plants provided us with many of the fundamentals of genetics that we still have today!
Mendel proposed 3 laws:
1. The law of dominance - this law states that where there are two different alleles (heterozygous) the organism will always express the dominant trait over the recessive trait
2. The law of segregation - this law states that offspring will inherit one allele from each parent, because allele pairs separate in the process of meiosis, such that each gamete contains 1 allele of each trait. When the zygote is formed, it contains an allele from each parent.
3. The law of independent assortment - this law states that traits are independent from one another at the time of gamete formation. The genes are segregated separately from one another, as the presence of one does not impact the presence of another.
This example shows that all combinations of the height and color allele are possible, and therefore nicely demonstrates the law of independent assortment
